Maximum subarray sum in O(n) using prefix sum in C++
Problem statement
Given an Array of Positive and Negative Integers, find out the Maximum Subarray Sum in that Array
Example
If input array is − {-12, -5, 4, -1, -7, 1, 8, -3} then output is 9
Algorithm
Calculate the prefix sum of the input array.
Initialize− min_prefix_sum = 0, res = -infinite
Maintain a loop for i = 0 to n. (n is the size of the input array).
cand = prefix_sum[i] – mini
If cand is greater than res (maximum subarray sum so far), then update res by cand.
If prefix_sum[i] is less than min_prefix_sum (minimum prefix sum so far), then update min_prefix_sum by prefix_sum[i].
Return res
Example
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int maximumSumSubarray(int *arr, int n){
int minPrefixSum = 0;
int res = numeric_limits<int>::min();
int prefixSum[n];
prefixSum[0] = arr[0];
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
prefixSum[i] = prefixSum[i - 1] + arr[i];
}
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
res = max(res, prefixSum[i] - minPrefixSum);
minPrefixSum = min(minPrefixSum, prefixSum[i]);
}
return res;
}
int main(){
int arr[] = {-12, -5, 4, -1, -7, 1, 8, -3};
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
cout << "Result = " << maximumSumSubarray(arr, n) <<endl;
return 0;
}Output
When you compile and execute above program. It generates following output −
Result = 9
